All in 48 hours

We have had a very busy 48 hours.

• on Friday night we went out for dinner at our favourite Thai restaurant. Red duck curry, stir-fry pork with chilli and thai basil, jasmine rice.



• we then went to see Flamenco Fire at the theatre.



• there was the royal wedding. We got home five minutes before the balcony kiss. How stunning was that dress! Just gorgeous.

• with the children at Grandma's overnight. On Saturday morning I slept in until 8:30am.

• Mr Moo and I went for a 3 hour long breakfast in the sun.



• In the afternoon, we baked and decorated cupcakes for my Aunt's 70th birthday party, while watching the royal wedding that was repeated on TV.

• on Saturday night we went to my Aunt's birthday party. It was a really lovely night. Beautiful food and a very yummy chocolate birthday cake. So many moments reminded me of my own childhood. I love it when our extended family can all be together.

• this morning we went back to my aunts house for the 'recovery breakfast', a tradition in our family after my aunt hosts a birthday party at her house. This year it was the next generation in the kitchen cooking the breakfast. Luckily my cousin's knew her mothers secret recipe for the sausages in tomato gravy, that is a 'must have' at these family breakfasts.

A full two days, but also very relaxing. We are off for a walk soon and tomorrow, another public holiday. Just perfect.

More princesses

I am still thinking about royal weddings today.



Mary and Frederik's in particular, I remember sitting up at midnight and watching it live on TV. I think they are just gorgeous. Wouldn't everyone like to meet a Danish Prince in a pub?







I love this photo shoot in German Vogue, taken late last year. You can see more photos here.



And the fairytale continues with the birth of twins, Josephine and Vincent in January. Just adorable.



I wish that Kate and William were getting married at midnight Australian time, because I'm going to miss it!

Yes, that's right, we are going to a concert. A concert that was booked long before the announcement of the royal wedding. It is our first night out in over six months. I'm a little torn.

I know I will have a great night out, but I will be thinking of the rest of you settling in for a cosy night in front of the TV watching the royal wedding.

I expect to hear all about the dress tomorrow.

Princesses

I am thinking about royal brides today.

I am mesmerised by this photo of Grace Kelly on her wedding day.

I just love it.
